RCD-02 Stereo Compact Disc Player

AC Power and Control

AC Power Input

r
Your RCD-02 is configured at the factory for
the proper AC voltage in the country where
you purchased it (either 115 volts or 230/
240 volts. The AC line configuration is noted
on a decal on the back panel.
NOTE: Should you move your CD player
to another country, it may be possible to
reconfigure it for use on a different line
voltage. Do not attempt to perform this
conversion yourself. Opening the enclosure
of the RCD-02 exposes you to dangerous
voltages. Consult a qualified service person
or the Rotel factory service department for
information.
The RCD-02 should be plugged directly into a
2-pin polarized wall outlet or into the switched
outlet on another component in your audio
system. Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure the power switch on the front panel of
the RCD-02 is turned off (in the "out" position).
Then, connect the supplied power cord to the
AC power receptacle on the rear of the unit
and the AC power outlet.
If you are going to be away from home for an
extended period of time such as a month-long
vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug
your CD player (as well as other audio and
video components) while you are away.
Power Switch and Power

Indicator
2
The power switch is located on the front panel
of your CD player. To turn the CD player on,
push the switch in. The LED indicator above the
switch and the Display will light up, indicating
that the CD player is turned on. To turn the CD
player off, push the button again and return it
to the "out" position.
NOTE: If you are using a switched outlet to
turn on and off your CD player, you should
leave the power switch in the "on" position.
When AC power is applied to the unit, it will
power up in fully active mode.

Output Connections

The RCD-02 gives you a choice of two different
kinds of output connections — an analog output
signal from the built-in D/A converter for use
with conventional analog audio components
and a coax digital output which provides
an unprocessed digital data signal for use
with outboard D/A converters or digital
processors.
NOTE: To prevent loud noises that neither
you nor your speakers will appreciate, make
sure the CD player is turned off when you
make any signal connections.

Analog Outputs

=
[See Figure 3 for wiring illustration]
A pair of standard RCA jacks supplies an
analog output signal from the RCD-02 to the
source inputs of an audio preamplifier, in-
tegrated amplifier, or receiver.
Select high quality audio interconnect cables.
Connect the left channel output of the RCD-02 to
the left channel source input on the preamplifier
or other component. Connect the right output
of the RCD-02 to the right channel source input
on the preamplifier or other component.

Digital Output

q
[See Figure 4 for wiring illustration]
If you are using an outboard D/A converter
or other digital processor, you will need
an unprocessed digital data stream from
the RCD-02, taken before the built-in D/A
converter. This signal is supplied by the RCD-
02's back-panel digital output jack. Using a
standard 75 ohm coax digital cable, connect
the RCD-02's coax digital output to the coax
digital input connector on the outboard D/A
converter.

Operation

The RCD-02 can be operated using its front
panel buttons or from corresponding buttons
on the supplied infrared remote control.
Specific instructions for each of these controls
are detailed below. Most of the buttons are
duplicated on the front panel and on the IR
remote control. However, there are a few
exceptions where the buttons are only available
on one or the other. These exceptions are noted
in the instructions.

Infrared Remote Control

Before using the IR remote control, it is necessary
to install two "UM-4/AAA" batteries (supplied).
Remove the plastic cover on the back of the
IR remote, install the batteries (observing the
+ and – polarity indications), and reinstall
the cover.
To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR
sensor 5 located in the Display area on the
front panel of the RCD-02.

Display

6
A lighted Display on the front panel of the
RCD-02 provides useful information about
the status of the unit, activation of special
features, and track/time information for the
disc being played. Each of these indicators is
described in the detailed operating instructions
that follow.

Disc Drawer

4
A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the
center of the RCD-02, slides out to accept a
compact disc and retracts to play the disc. Place
the compact disc in the drawer label-side up.
Make sure the disc is properly centered in the
tray. The drawer can be closed in two ways:
pushing the OPN/CLS button or pushing the
PLAY button.
